Summertime Clothes

So, blog, I thought it was about time you got a makeover!
And since a lot of stuff has changed in my life
I figured you should change too.

And now I'm posting on Facebook too.
Gonna get back into the blogging mood.

Despite my totally awful mood earlier, I've definitely improved.
Talking to Jessica definitely helped.

Here's the rundown for the past month or so, straightforward as I can make it.

First off, it appears that I'm single, officially, for the first time in more than a year.
sure, it's a bit sad.
But overall I guess this way's the easiest.
Now I realize that I've basically been deprived of affection for that same amount of time, and that's sad.
I'll solve that somehow, someday.
Not a big priority.

Second, after the hearing was over and done with, I got my sentence.
namely four days of community service.
Day numero uno was yesterday.
It wasn't THAT bad...
Just tedious and more yard work than I do in a month.
Six hours of leaf raking and carrying more weight than I'm capable of.
After that was over I meandered over to Cornerstone to wait for my ride
that never showed up,
so I walked home.
Which wasn't so bad either.
The sun was out, and I walked through the linear park, which is always fun.

This morning, I woke up, tried to roll over,
and fought back tears
because my whole torso aches, as well as my legs
and my arms
and my neck
and my feet
and everything in between.

Now I know I complain about being sore a lot
But really, I don't mind it so much.
The aching makes me feel like I've done something productive.
Which I have.

I'm looking forward to this summer so much it's not even funny.
The long days, the glaringly bright solar energy
hanging out in parks, biking around town,
trying to find something to do and finding nothing
and being okay with that.
loud music, short shorts and tank tops
making memories
running for ten-twelve hours on nothing but fruit and water.
LIVING, man.
That's the kind of therapy I need.
That's the life I miss.

Three more months of school and it'll be a reality.

I've been online for seven hours, I think I'll go find something productive to do now...
Like my laundry...

Peace.
